Procrastination occasionally has consequences. I had most of this prepared after Sunday’s games…but didn’t get it finished before Jeff’s piece yesterday. So there may be some unfortunate overlap with yesterday’s entry. Oh well, maybe someone else can learn from this lesson because all available evidence suggests that I won’t. 😉 I have grown to hate […]

NC State vs. Maryland: Pre-Game/In-Game Discussion (Updated 4:45)
Well, it’s time to redeem ourselves after basically crapping ourselves on the court against lowly Miami. It’s as simple as this – we need to win at least one more game as an underdog (assuming we beat Wake at home – we will be favored to do so), or the NIT won’t happen. I’m not […]
ACC BBall Bytes
With the Wolfpack suddenly struggling on the hardwood, it’s hard for everyone to pay extremely close attention to everything else that is going on in the league. But, as we have turned the corner on the mid-point of the season there have been some very interesting developments that are worth noting. * So, the powerful […]
Virginia Tech – In Line For #1 ACCT Seed?
I hope some of you got to see an incredible basketball game tonight, as Virginia Tech beat UNC for the second time this season, 81-80 in OT (an incredible, acrobatic Wayne Ellington triple-clutch shot coming about 0.7 seconds too late). This was a huge win for the Hokies, as they now have the clearest path […]
Official Embarrassment Thread
To a man, it appears that the NC State Wolfpack forgot there was a basketball game scheduled for today. Just a hideous effort all around. Yes, the game isn’t over yet, and maybe a miracle finish will make me look silly – but I seriously doubt it. Officially, this is the first truly inexplicable, embarrassing […]
Important Affair with Hurricanes Today
Just because State lost on Tuesday night does not mean that you can underestimate the importance to today’s game. I look at the rest of the season as follows: State needs two wins to feel good about securing an NIT berth (especially in light of the amount of tickets that we will no doubt sell […]
Miami Suspends Hicks
Potentially good news for NC State’s Basketball team who will travel to Miami on Saturday for a big match up vs the Hurricanes – the Hurricanes have indefinitely suspended forward Raymond Hicks. Miami, already down two starting forwards due to injury, suspended forward Raymond Hicks “indefinitely” for violating team policy. Hicks, a 6-7 junior, started […]
Insane GT Game Thread
That Crittenden shot damn near killed me. Good thing I am only 33 – I would be blogging from the sky if I were much older. Will that turn the tide, or will the Pack withstand yet another Yellow Jacket run? Anyway, this is a great game. Dicuss. 8:16 – Well, this doesn’t look good. […]
More Awards for Weekend Performance
The Wolfpack moves on to Atlanta tonight for a 7pm tip time vs Georgia Tech. You can check here throughout the day for previews of the game. Today will be the last time that we wallow in happiness from Saturday, but we needed to memorialize more of the applause that Sidney Lowe’s Wolfpack earned for […]
